I also tipped Engadget on the Kindle status scenario. I doubt they'll post it, and don't really want to hand out negative publicity, but it'd give HP some incentive to get things in gear. You really shouldn't be advertising for things that don't work/exist.

I noticed the HP MovieStore is on Pivot also. Very strange they are acting like this stuff is actually out. To be honest, since Feb 9th, it seems HP's head has been in the sand and they are just off doing their thing - believing they built and released the "perfect" tablet. Their arrogance around WebOS is rather impressive - if you can call it that.

Tim tweeted me that Precentral will be sharing something on this soon, after I suggested they make a front page article asking what the deal is. It seems very odd to me that they'd pull it after the reviewers all got to have it. It almost is like they aren't even aware. This app appeared to be done back in February..

This is basically 'the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing' issue. The App team pulls the Kindle app, but fails to notify the Pivot team, and like the Pivot team, the Twitter marketing team also fails to get the word. There are just a lot of moving parts over at HP and I chalk this up to new device launch kinks in the system.

You can bet your bottom dollar that HP is well aware of the impact of pulling the Kindle app. Kindle is one of those flagship apps that separate the good devices from the crappy ones. I can't imagine getting Kindle working isn't one of their top priorities. If any one of us were running the company it would be for us - just because HP isn't saying so, doesn't mean it isn't so.
